Thank you for this, Ryan. Should come in handy.

In response to the circlejerk happening over there, it's all good and
well for server owners to put in ads, but in the end a server operator
is just that -- a server operator. The client is still in control of the
client, and I'll be damned if I'll let you choose what I get to see on
my game screen, enough that I don't even want a bypass config or a
plugin, I'll just not visit your server.

It would probably be a wise idea to invest your time and energy into
less-annoying and obtrusive advertising methods, as I know I am far from
the only one with these opinions. The Pinion may be giving you money
right now, but in the end you will be in the red as more and more users
get sick of it.

Strive to treat your server users like server users, not sacks of money.
Be professional and courteous to their needs. This is a game, they are
there to have a good time and enjoy themselves, not sit through
obnoxious advertisements.
